"That's fine then. By the way, Xiao Liu, tell the experts to take them on a tour and explain things to them properly, especially regarding the initial investment. After all, they are all honest country folk, and they probably can't afford to come up with that kind of money."

But you also need to tell them about the potential profits, so they see how much money they can make, and only then will they dare to do it.

"Yes, Chairman Li!"

"Everything's fine here, go ahead and get busy!"

"good!"

"Girl, what you just said is right. Even if you learn it, not being able to afford it is a problem!"

"So, Mr. Chen, it depends on what their village cadres think and whether they can unite the people. As long as they build one together, it's possible. Once they make money, they can gradually expand. Sooner or later, the people's pockets will be full of money."

"That's true. We can't rely on others for everything. The technology is provided for free, so we can't expect them to provide funding. If that's the case, we might as well just rent a mountain and do it ourselves."

"Old Chen sees things more clearly."

"You silly girl, stop talking nonsense to this old man."

Where?

...

"What, you suddenly remembered to treat me to dinner today?"

"Mianmian, we all know you're busy, but we really don't understand this matter, so we had to ask a few of us representatives to come and consult you. Can we talk without eating?"

"I knew you guys had something to say to me. Go ahead and say it! We're like family! We've been friends for so many years. Just ask me anything, and I'll tell you everything I know, without holding back.

As for the food? It tasted pretty good.

"Mianmian, if you like it, eat more. I'm not very good at cooking, but this dish is pretty good."

"Sister Qian, now that you mention it, I won't stand on ceremony. By the way, just tell me what's on your mind. I'll listen while I eat. Please don't mind, I didn't even get a chance to eat this morning before being called to a meeting. Just tell me you're treating me to lunch here, Sister Qian, and here I am."

"It's alright, just eat first, we'll talk slowly."

"Okay, go ahead and say it!"

"Mianmian, to tell you the truth, I heard some news a few days ago that they're going to sell some apartments publicly. Is that true? We contacted a lot of people, and we originally planned to contact Lao Zhang, but he's not in Beijing. In the end, we had no choice but to contact you."

"Wang Zhigang, is this what you're talking about?"

"Yes? We all have at least two or three children in our families, so housing is a big deal!"

It's been almost 10 years since I returned to the city, but the policies change every day, and sometimes I really don't understand them.

"I'll just ask you one question: do you want to buy a house?"

"Of course I want to! Putting everything else aside, since we returned to the city, we've been doing some small business with your help. We've made quite a bit of money, but I don't know if it's enough! I heard that these apartments aren't cheap."

"If you trust me, this matter will be easy to handle. If you don't trust me, I can still give you some advice."

"Mianmian, what do you mean?"

"Haven't a lot of real estate companies been established in the last two or three years?"

I own shares in several promising real estate companies. Although I can't make the final decision, I can give you a heads-up if you want to buy a house early on, so you won't be left unable to secure one later.

Besides, housing prices seem high now, but they will be even higher in the future. Not only will you have to pay several times more to buy a house then, but more importantly, you may not even be able to buy a house in a good location.

Another point is that you already own several properties. If you really don't want to buy any more, then you'll have to wait for the demolition and redevelopment! But who knows when that will happen.”

“Mianmian, the demolition is probably going to be tough. The oldest of our families is of marriageable age, but they can’t get married because they don’t have a place to live. Now they’re just waiting for a house to get married.”

“That’s right, Mianmian Shengyang is right.”

"Then let's buy a commercial apartment!"

"Mianmian, this apartment building is built so high, is it okay? Is it safe?"

"Don't worry! The relevant departments have tested it. But you can't buy a house for too high a price. Not to mention, everyone is getting on in years. Even though there is an elevator, it will still be inconvenient to go up and down the stairs if there is a power outage one day."

As for where to buy, if you have a lot of money, buy a nice place; if you have less money, buy a place a little further away.

This place, though it seems remote now, will definitely be in the city center within ten years.

"So, Mianmian, how much is the house price per square meter now?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on where you choose to buy a house, but if you want to buy a house, you should hurry up!"

Putting aside everything else, just look at the projects currently under construction. Once they're completed, the property prices will definitely be higher than they are now.

Also, if you don't have enough money, you can take out a bank loan. You all said you're running a small business, right? You can get a mortgage loan for that. And the interest rates are low right now.

As housing prices rise in the future, bank loans will also increase accordingly.

If you're still hesitant to buy, is there another option?

"What method?"

"Here's the thing, I currently have a piece of land in my possession, and I plan to build staff housing. What about this housing?"

Although it's called staff housing, it wasn't allocated to the staff; they had to pay for it themselves.

For example, if they don't have much money, it can be deducted from their wages until it's all gone; only then does a house truly belong to them.

"Mianmian, where is it? Do you have many houses? We all know your company has a lot of employees, and we can also..."

"Comrade Zhao Dapeng, since I've said it, there are definitely still houses available, but not many are for sale, maybe around 200 units!"

"Around 200 units? Mianmian, your company has quite a few employees, and they also have quite a few children. How many houses are there?"

"The company has a rule that each employee can only buy a maximum of two houses, so you have to follow the same rule here, otherwise I can't manage it."

"That works, but I don't know about the house prices?"

"It will definitely be slightly cheaper than it is now, since the location still seems a bit out of the way."

"Mianmian talked for half a day, but she didn't know where the house was located."

"West City, that's where the nut shop used to be!"

"So you were the one who built those buildings in that area!"

"Yes! Xiangqian, you know that!"

"Of course I know. To be honest, I often pass by there and I'm always wondering when I'll be able to buy an apartment there."

"Xiangqian, what are the buildings like there?"
